Yesterday, I put up a post about a comment on a prayer
post that there were too many "prayer against" versus "prayer
for" points. Let's start our Bible Study.
BV001 Genesis 32:9,11
Then Jacob prayed, “O God of my father Abraham, God of my
father Isaac, Lord, you who said to me, ‘Go back to your country and your
relatives, and I will make you prosper,’... Save me, I pray, from the hand of
my brother Esau, for I am afraid he will come and attack me, and also the
mothers with their children.
Hephzibah's Commentary
Jacob had deceived his brother, Esau, and taken his
birthright. Esau obviously had SOLD the birthright but the unfortunate thing is
that Esau was the stronger one of the brothers.
Jacob was the custodian of the Abrahamic covenant still
he had to cry to God to save him and his family from the hand of Esau his
brother. If God did not intervene, Esau would have killed Jacob and his
descendants.
In my opinion, this is one reason why blood-washed
believers still need to pray against the activities of the wicked. Many
annointed people have had their glorious future terminated because of the
activities of the wicked.
Paul, in 2 Thessalonians 3:2, asked for prayers against
wicked and unreasonable men for not all men have faith. I agree that some of
the 'deliverance' prayers can be ridiculous. However, it doesn't cancel the
need for praying against the activities of wicked and unreasonable men and
women.
I'll put up separate posts for each Bible Verse (BV).
Enjoy your day.
